The krone is the currency of Denmark, including the autonomous provinces of Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The plural form is 'kroner'. It is loosely pegged to the Euro at a rate of 1 EUR = 7.46038 DKK but is allowed to fluctuate slightly. The government is no longer committed to converting Denmark's currency to the euro eventually.

A variety of currencies circulated in China during the Republic of China era, most of which were denominated in the unit 'yuan'. In 1948 the People's Bank of China issued a unified currency known as the Renminbi or 'people's currency'. Yuan in Chinese literally means a 'round object' or 'round coin'.
